Manually configuring additional remote CEI servers for a single model (deprecated)

If you want one monitor model to receive events that are emitted to multiple CEI servers in multiple cells, you must manually configure each additional Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) server before monitor model deployment.

Before you begin

By default, IBM® Business Monitor V8.5.5 is configured to use the Dynamic Event Framework rather than the Common Event Infrastructure. However, CEI is still available for the convenience of users who have process applications from previous versions of IBM Business Process Manager.

Before you begin this task, you must log in to the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console.

About this task

When you deploy a monitor model, the monitor model deployment process creates the "_Q" queue. When you create another version of the monitor model, the original queue is re-created as a "_Q_A" queue, and the newer version has a "_Q" queue created during monitor model deployment.

Using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, complete the following steps on each additional CEI server:

Procedure

  1. Create the Event Group Profile to configure the CEI server to accept the events by completing the following steps:
    1. In the navigation panel, select Service integration > Common Event Infrastructure > Event service.
    2. Under Additional Properties, click Event services.
    3. Click Default Common Event Infrastructure event server in the list of event services.
    4. Under Additional Properties, click Event groups.
    5. Click event_group.
    6. Click New.
    7. Enter wbm_model_version_Group for the Event group name.
    8. Enter value for the Event group selector string. The value must match the value of the event group created on the initial CEI server that was configured during the initial model deployment.
    9. Click OK.
    10. Click group_name for the event group you created.
    11. Under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties and add the following property.
      • name: customEventSelectorFilterClass
      • value: com.ibm.wbimonitor.xsp.cei.extensions.EventSelectorFilter
    12. Click OK.
  2. Restart the CEI Server for the configuration changes to take effect.

Results

You can now send Common Base Events from this CEI server to the model you have configured.
